Kelly Clarkson reportedly has an estimated net worth of $60 million.
Hush Piggy.
“She added, ‘And they were like, “Oh, you win a million dollars,” or whatever. No, you didn’t. They lied. It was, like, a million dollars worth of investment in you.”
Considering he successes since American idol, I wouldn’t be bitching if I were her.
Man people can be ungrateful. SMH
Da wimmins gonna biatch. All the time. They’re all angry these days. Screamin’ banshees.
I don’t know why she wouldn’t have used a tiny portion of her fortune to sue them, provided she actually has a case against them.
If she doesn’t have a strong case, she may have to defend her defamatory remarks in court.
I know they never said you get $1M. But they said you get a $1M contract. Which was always kind of vague to me.
It’s great that Clarkson is rich now, but are ALL of the winners rich and famous? No. They were promised the same things, but didn’t get them either AND they didn’t get rich.
So, the bait and switch is ok if you make it big?
This is typical of the old game shows. You couldn’t afford to keep the prizes because of the taxes. It is what it is. If something sounds too good to be true it usually is.
The contestants should look past the promised prizes to the exposure, I guess. But it does sound like a bait and switch.
I’d say it paid off regardless of what she didn’t get after winning the show.
Her comments sound fine when in the context of the article, she was just talking, not so much “bitching” for the people who skipped reading what she was describing and to whom.
Still not enough to make her a noteworthy star. I think she has one song in 20 plus years.
Yeah, Hollywood is kayfabe just like pro wrestling. It’s why you have an agent to also screw you. The music industry is the same way. In that whole realm, the ends justifies the means.
Was this a written contract?
I like her. I think she’s talented. And she made the best out of being young and broke the the breaks she got along the way. I especially like her duet with Reba...sung a LONG time ago, LOL!
Clarkson and Radcliff are both biting the hands that fed them. Ungrateful wretches.
The writing was probably on the wall on why she left. Spending more time with the family was just an excuse. NBC Universal is getting out of the first run syndication business. They syndicate her show.
